I wouldn’t worry about this too much. It isn’t a hook like being a URM. It is more of an minor edge. I assume that your adoptive parents are more important to you and they will be on the finan aid forms. (Who files the FAFSA next year is really more of an issue.) You could fill in the names of your adoptive parents, and then include a note about the adoption and the names of your birth parents in the supplemental info section, but do whatever you are comfortable with.
